Workshop Objectives:
1. Plan an iMovie Project
2. Learn & apply knowledge of importing and editing still, audio and video clips to create a simple iMovie project. iMovie Planning: Planning is an important first step in any movie project and iMovie is no different. Developing some kind of a plan that can be followed during the process makes everything go smoother. The plan can be as simple as a series of sticky notes with each video clip or picture jotted down and what will be said or written or it can be as complex as a complete notebook with a page for each clip or picture with a place for notes on what type of shot (close, wide angle, etc.) and who will be pictures, the person's lines, etc. Sample Documents for Planning:
1. Simple Planning Document: Storyboard template.pdf
2. Movie Planning Sheet: storyboard2.pdf
3. Sample Completed Planning Sheet: Storyboard - completed example.pdf
4. On-line Sticky Noteboard: Linoit sample for use with the clips below--iMovie Planning for Training
5. Completed Planning Sheet for Sample with the clips below-- Sample Clips for Tutorial: Download these clips for use in the workshop
File-->New Event (this is the collection of video clips that you will be creating)
Import Video--it seems to work best to import all of your video at once
Edit Imported Video--Mark the video that you want to use as a Favorite
View Favorited Video--Change the view to only see the video clips you have favorited
Drag Pictures (you can drag directly to your project from the desktop or folder) & Video Clips into your project window--Follow your planning sheet and put the clips in the order that you want to use them
Add Titles (on the right media window--T Icon) Select the type of title you want and drag the titles into the project window. You can put these on top of the clips or make them a title over black.
Add Voice Overs (if desired) using the microphone--you will be directed to click on the clip for the voiceover and then you will get a 3, 2, 1 countdown to begin recording.
Add Transitions (as desired)--Make a selection and drag these between the clips
Add Background Music--the musical note icon in the media pane on the right will allow you to make musical selections which you can drag to the background.
Adjust video clips and audio--fine tuning--Double click any clip in your project window and you will be navigated to the inspector where you can make clip, video and audio adjustments.
